No surprise here - the welfare officials were rubber stamping the applications of their fellow entitlists!
When you have government workers that might as well be on the dole considering the capabilities and actual work output, you get an environment ripe for fraud and abuse.
I wonder how many of the investigations revealed fraud being perpetrated or participated in by the applicant processors!?
How long do you think it will take doj to sue them?
Wait until Trump is President and he and his team discover and reveal the welfare cheats and frauds. Justice is coming.
Now look at unemployment SSI,Workman's compensation.
I am shocked that any of those fine folks who need welfare would try to cheat the system, I bet they are being set up (just like marion barry)

And all the politicians wonder why the country is in debt. That's money that could have been put towards our military and all emergency services. Not to mention the working American citizens.
